Peterson De Luxe Mixture

The cold smell is delicious with notes of caramel, vanilla, fresh nuts and cream. It is noted that the flavorings in this mixture are of quality and very precise to achieve this blend.

Now, in my opinion. I find mixing a lot of black cavendish with a little virginia to be a monotonous and a bit boring smoke. Of course, your guests will be happy to enjoy your company while you burn this tobacco.

E.S

The average score for Deluxe Mixture is about right. It’s a mild aromatic with hints of walnut and honey. The VA is present and surprisingly strong but not sweet. Room note is actually more pleasant than the taste.

This is a solid if uninspired aromatic. Autumn Evening is better. Both Black and Gold 7 Seas are better. Connoisseur’s Choice is better. So this is in the middle of the pack.

I love good aromatics. Some, like say Blood Cult Moon, are too sweet. Others like 1Q, have good flavoring but uncomplicated tobacco. It’s all a matter of balance and no one gets it just right. Like life.

Burns nicely. A slow cadence is rewarded.

I’m not a huge fan of most aromatics, but my review isn’t so much about what I like to smoke, it’s about the quality of the tobacco. With that being said, I did give Deluxe Mixture a 3 because I think it would appeal to the newer smoker who’s looking for a mild smoke with a decent amount of flavoring and a mild nic-hit. The flavoring is evident throughout the entire bowl and leaves little moisture in the bowl and the mild level of nicotine makes it a good all day smoke for the newbie. The room note is very pleasant so you’re probably going to get some high marks for a nice aroma from the nonsmokers in your life instead of the turned- up nose I get from my girlfriend when smoking my favorites.

Tin note of walnuts, honey and vanilla. Tobacco is a ribbon cut of black, dark brown and a little light brown. Moisture content is great. Burns moderate with a few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is mild. Flavoring is medium, with notes of Honey, Vanilla and Walnut. Starting with a bang and slowly dissipating to background flavors during the first 1/2, none of the flavors dissipate completely. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of nuts, sweet vanilla, sugar, slight creaminess, wood, honey, spices, savory, rich, marshmallow, floral, grassy, earthy, tangy citrus, mildly acidic, mildly bitter, a sweet-toasted bread background note, and an almost smooth slight peppery retro. Cavendish is leading with Flavoring and Virginias supporting. Room note is pleasant to tolerable, and aftertaste is good.

Had this a year before popping the tin and it was dry ready to smoke . alot like Connoisseur Choice which means a middle of the road aromatic with not an overpowering flavor, room note is ok, i think there are better aromatics out there

Pronounce tobacco flavor, with a balanced vanilla topping. I couldn’t taste any Honey, but there was hints of nuttiness. A typical Peterson aromatic. The balance between tobacco and topping flavor

Too much cavendish. Overall though not a horrible smoke. Burns nicely and has good flavour. It gets a bit ashey tasting as you smoke and I find the cavendish a little too much

Take the $10 you were planning on spending for this blend and smoke that in your pipe instead. I'm sure there would be more flavor to it than this stuff. Don't know how they can claim it tastes like anything but air.

I would first like to state that I will review this tobacco as what it was created as; an aromatic. I am also a homebrewer as well as a beer judge. Now my favourite style of beer happens to be very big and hoppy IPA's and American Pale Ales. However, that does not mean that while judging an American Lagger, I dock it points because it is not my favorite style. I judge beers for how well they fit within a certain style and how well they are crafted. I feel the same should be done for tobaccos as well.

With that being said I decided to pick up a tin of this simply because my pipe collection is largely Peterson pipes, and yet I had never tried a Peterson tobacco. I bought about six different tins of different types of Peterson's tobaccos, and this one happened to be in the mix.

Upon opening the tin, I was greeted with a very pleasent nutty almost buttery aromoa. The moister was just about right, and with a couple weeks on the rack the tobacco was perfectly dried for my taste.

I loaded up a large bowl Peterson Billiard pipe with this, and decided, though it had been quite a while since last I smoked an aromatic, I should dedicate some time to this as to not have it nip at the tongue.

This blend took a charring light quite well, and with minimal tamping, was extremely well behaved.

After the first two lights, I could defiantly smell the sweet nutty casing burning off, but that was not at all unpleasant. This was a well balanced blend of VA and Cavendish from what I could tell. The casing actually lended something interesting and positive to this tobacco. Unlike too many aromatics, this was good quality tobacco which had a nice sweet casing added to it to enhace the sweet balance; not hide the poor choice in leaf.

The aroma was almost intoxicating. I sat under the big covered porch, and simply enjoyed the cloud of nuts and berries swirling around my head.

This blend is pretty mild on the nicotine, and defiantly not an everyday smoke for me. I find this to be enjoyable while out in public or out for a walk with the pup. It does not offend those around you, however it does not offend the smoker either.

I was surprised to find this to burn down to a nice white ash, and leave no gooey messes in the bottoms of my pipes.

I try to keep a tin of this on hand for when we are out amongst the general population. It brings in quite a few complements from almost anyone nearby.

I would easily pair this with a low gravity stout. This is a great tobacco to smoke while sitting out on the patio at your favourite pub.

If you are either an occasional aromatic smoker, or an exclusive aromatic smoker, I would recommend you give this treat a whirl.
